Fascinating that #EEG is one of the top trends, while #fMRI is declining.
We've just set up a @ucl.ac.uk EEG community and attendance was way over what we expected. Interesting times.

Embodiment is the concept that the function of the brain is inexorably shaped by the body, a lens that is often neglected when neuroscientists study specific brain subsystems, write @bingbrunton.bsky.social and @tuthill.bsky.social.

Breaking the jar: Why NeuroAI needs embodiment
Brain function is inexorably shaped by the body. Embracing this will benefit computational models of real brain function and the design of ANNs.
